Una Paloma Blanca

No one can take my freedom away.

I hear some bloggers are going to join some lawyers who are going to take a leisurely morning walk from Sogo to the Central Market this Sunday.When I was an ITM student in the early 80s, I used to walk around the city from the Kelang bus station every other weekend. Walking is one of the best forms of exercise.

I think I'll join those bloggers who are joining those lawyers this Sunday.7.30am at Sogo.I'll wear white as a tribute to the White Dove (una paloma blanca), a symbol of freedom.

Learn the lyrics of the song, we'll sing the chorus together tomorrow!

UNA PALOMA BLANCAWhen the sun shines on the mountainAnd the night is on the runIt's a new dayIt's a new wayAnd I fly up to the sun

I can feel the morning sunlightI can smell the new-mown hayI can hear God's voice is callingFor my golden sky light way

Una paloma blancaI'm just a bird in the skyUna paloma blancaOver the mountains I flyNo one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of losingfor they locked me on a chainYes they tried to break my poweroh I still can feel the pain

Una paloma blancaI'm just a bird in the skyUna paloma blancaOver the mountains I flyNo one can take my freedom away

Una paloma blancaI'm just a bird in the skyUna paloma blancaOver the mountains I flyNo one can take my freedom away

i wouldn't be surprise if maybe near 100 people turned up for the sunday morning stroll.

btw, i love this song 'una paloma blanca and used to sing it all the time (inside bathroom!) when i was still in school but all along i thought 'una paloma blanca' is the name of a place. only now i know it means white dove.

Dear Rocky,a leisurely walk from Sogo to central market sounds nice, early morning scenery of dataran merdeka and the court. However walking to central market raises an issue especially after I got this message from facebook: Dear all,kindly take note that venue for the Festival is no longer Central Market but is now instead the auditorium at the Bar Council Building (a skip and a hop from Central Market). The address is:

I HAVE MORE REASONS TO WALK or MARCH!!===================Freedom is a misleading wordRights is more appropriate when fairness or Equalities must work!Rights and obligations both to be alert!

Rights partner with ObligationsConstitution with PolicemenClients with lawyersPeople with GovernmentBuyers with sellersConsumers with Manufacturers, or Service ProvidersHouse Buyers and DevelopersResidents and Councilors......No former, no latter!!

I will come Sundayto find my lawyer!A lawyer brave to sue the judgebut not taking the interest of client at largeTaking payment but sitting and ignoring reminders several month passed!Not attending court many times right at the start!Without the intervention of Bar and court like a star!Putting Client in the Dark!Surely he cannot fight for Human Rightsso only Freedom to Assembly if he dare to be a part!

If he is not in,I will find two she！who misled counterclaim to be done after amendment made!who refused to get Suggest Statement of facts & issues even pleadings made!distorting pleading and get discharged with false allegationschallenging "see you in court if you not happy"!

If she is not in,I will find another hewho refused giving opinion even after case managementleaving defense holes for Plaintiff's arguments!

If he is not,I will find again a hewho denied the obligation of the Developer to apply Consentto make MOT valid and registrablecharging a job of Developer'sbut no application to see after year!When complain to Bardeclared Defamation for Million RM to talk!

If he is not in,another he from the BARwho instigate Respondent to object explanation to Complainant!He may not be in as was told he is a Judge somewhere!

If he is not in,another he from DBwho followed Respondent objection not to provide Explanation to Complainant!Discharging complaint without explanation, hearing or investigation.Board minutes said to come No sign after years passed!

How many Rights I have to fightto see even Rights and Obligations from Lawyers， Bar and court!They are All one Basic Rights - Client or Consumer Rights!No need to assembly, if Rights is Right without numbers!!

we are all born free...but as a social animal, we live in prescribed environment, governed by laws and regulations.that does not mean that we cannot be free to do certain things, in fact, our freedom is enschrined in the constitution.somtimes i want to laugh, sometimes i want to cry when i see what has been happening to us as malaysians to stop us from doing things that we are legally free to do.i start to imagine chile, argentine and some of those latin american countries in the days of.....shiver shiver shiver

Rocy, have you ever seen the old Western where a presumed criminal is tried by a mob and then hanged? Change the time and location to Malaysia and the guy to be hanged as Utayakumar. As a former mainstream newspaper guy I am certain you would have little trouble imagining the plot or scenario.

Mainstreeam goverment-controled newspapers are the guys in the starring role. Can you picture their sheepish grins? Lets say Hindraf went to Paandi restaurant and attaked them with parangs. Don't worry about the owner Mr Thomas or Mr Kumar stating it was not Hindraf but thugs who attacked the restaurant.

Do you get the story yet Rocky. Lets pull the rope while no mainstream news media has the testicles to give Uthayakumar a right to express his side of the story. After all who needs to read or hear about the so-called prison-lock up deaths, police shootings or killings in Kampong Medan.Did you enjoy the lynching?

Fight for freedomIt seems so hard to make itThe police and the governmentNever wants to make it easy

Who are the saviors?Like in the western cowboy storiesGuns blazing the bad guys in smokeRight here it is the tear gas and chemical water cannonsBut they aren’t our saviorsThey are the ones making it difficultFor the citizens to feel the march of walking

Federal Constitution spells it outUnder sections and sub sectionsYet the government says it isn’tThe wings to fly the cages lockedUna Paloma BlancaI want my freedom; I want it to fly

The business community never supportsThey want money no disturbance at allYet they forget without the sparks in livesThere won’t be business; there won’t be customersAs they say “customer is king”Yet one feels so hollow in it

We play the role the voting king and queenWhen we become the customers the laws say differentlyWe are never treated as they say “customer is king”The government just clips our wings make us sweatNot knowing where is our right where is not our right

Talking about lawyers..I had one lawyer supposed to be working for me and then found he did other work behind my back for the party i hired him to rep me against...loyar buruk...same goes for SOME of the lawyers doing S n Ps...lawyer's client is quite right...

Rocky, now I can't get that darn song outta my head...like a broken record!!!

i learned this song in standard 5. really inspired by this song. even though i'm in terengganu, i'll walk for the BERSIH also by wearing yellow every saturday, and change my blog layout to yellow. Malaysian, beside walk the talk, don't forget to pray to GOD, the rest is HIS job. Insya ALLAH, kita sama2 doa dan usaha...
